OUR GENUINE BADGER HAIR:
Excellence and rarity

EUROPEAN WHITE
Quality et Softness
Never trimmed, it is taken from the crest or back of the animal. The "European White" is known for its qualities of flexibility and softness. It is recognizable by its white tips.
EUROPEAN GREY
Precision et Suppleness
The "European Grey" is more vigorous and firmer than the white hair, it is found on the badger's flank. These qualities, combined with its suppleness, make it one of the most widely used badgers. It allows a very precise shave.
CHINA GREY
Efficiency and unctuosity
The more common "China Grey" comes from the badger's belly. It allows an effective and tonic shave. This quality of hair preserves the qualities of an excellent badger hairbrush and makes it possible to obtain a rich lather.
PURE BLACK
